  1. KCSDP I think the slide was in, but it was the old "throw beat you so you are out" deal.
  2. Back to back hits against Zambrano. If he doesn't figure it out soon, Lieber should get his spot.
  3. Mark Prior throws towels! Base Clogging Aramis is lazy Fake rally.
  4. I know it's not a popular POV around here, but if Pie keeps looking like he has, Johnson SHOULD get more AB's... we can't keep having an automatic out in Pie's spot, especially w/ Theriot in the lineup as well. It's less than 25 ABs, isn't it?
  5. Who ever said anything to the contrary? Large numbers of the mainstream baseball media one day a year.
  6. The 42 thing doesn't bother me, but I'm not automatically going to consider a player a great guy cause he does it.
  7. Yeah I know. Who wants 7 innings of 1-hit baseball when you could get 1 inning of walks? sample size? Pulling any of them would be stupid. But even mentioning that Dempster should even be in the discussion, at this moment, regarding pulling pitchers is beyond stupid. Because no bad pitcher ever had two good games?
  8. I was thinking if I wanted to post and be that guy or not. Thank you for not making me choose. After editing some reeeeeeeeeeeeeally horrifying journal articles over the last few days, I've been cranky when it comes to the English language. I can't blame myself, to be honest. I've edited a college newspaper around the the time freshmen in Intro to Newswriting had their first class deadline. I feel your pain.

  10. Ish. I wouldn't call them "impressive." He gets pretty decent results overall, but impressive might be stretching it. Semantics, I know.
  11. The LOOGY is there, like most bullpen roles, to cover the manager's behind and make him able to point to a "book" he followed. Pigniatiello is cautionary tale No. 1,223,106 in why you don't give out roster spots based on spring training performance.
  12. How could you possibly go wrong with a line like this: You never see yo-yos any more. It's like the rainforest, but sad.
  13. Greatest show ever. I thought it'd be horrible from the commercials. But I'm totally hooked.
  14. MLB officials just called into the park and declared both teams will be awarded a loss for today.
  15. I'm fine with it, I'm fine without it, but I'd like to see both confere- I mean leagues play the same rules.
  16. Ryan Theriot is now 0-for-2 at getting runners home from third with less than two outs. Isn't that supposed to be the kind of thing he's good at?
  17. But look at those IP numbers, he's a workhorse! Good Luck getting alot in return. Frankly, I'd take a pack of warm week-old hot dogs for Marquis at this point. That's a little silly. He's hovered around league average for some years now. Surely someone will overpay for that.
  18. I wish. Fukudome was hitting .50 going into the day. Soriano's down to a nickel.
  19. You've not been watching his defense have you? OH yeah when our pitchers couldn't hold a single runner. Please. :glare: and an error, and standing in the middle of the basepath before the ball gets there so he can get steamrolled by the runner and give up another run. not to mention he hasn't been much more successful at throwing out runners than rubber arm kendall was last year. but yeah, otherwise he's not made a bad play all year. ;) And failing to get a windblown popup behind the plate.
  20. He'd have to get to 1-for-21 to get there. He's at 1-for-18, I think.
  21. actually if you run the numbers its best to spread your "guaranteed" outs around the lineup so it doesn't kill rally's, so its actually not that bad to split Pie and Theriot I strongly, strongly question this. There's no combination of hits and outs that isn't better when the hits are bunched and the outs are bunched.
  22. Combined OBP of Soriano and Theriot since beginning of 2007 season: .321
  23. There have only been three doubles hit to CF all season against the Cubs. Should he have cut off all three?
  24. Cubs fans (Well, the people at Wrigley) also cheered when Kerry Wood plunked the first hitter he faced in a tie game in the ninth, who eventually scored in a one-run loss. Cubs fans are not having a good season thus far. But sample size must be taken into account.
